Britain's Best Loaf

British Baker is once again delighted to be running Britain’s Best Loaf – a competition which gives bakers a chance to show off their skills to their peers and potential customers. This year we have six categories, including Gluten Free, Innovation and White.

Following huge interest in the sourdough category and large number of entries we receive, we have split this into two categories:

Plain Sourdough - A loaf made 100% by fermentation using naturally occurring lactobacillus and the capture of wild yeasts through a starter dough. May contain only flour, salt and water.

Sourdough with other ingredients - Made 100% by fermentation using naturally occurring lactobacillus and the capture of wild yeasts through a starter dough. May contain flour, salt and water, plus additional ingredients such as nuts, seeds, vegetables and honey.

The winning loaf from each category goes into the final judging, to decide who will be the 'ultimate' winner'. So, don't miss out! We want to hear your bakery boasts, sample your secret recipes and see just why your customers love your loaf – Enter today here
